Apply a sewn patch as follows: (1) Place the reparable item on a repair table, smooth the fabric around the damaged area, and secure the item to the table with pushpins. Do not pin the damaged area. (2) Using an authorized marking aid of contrasting color, mark a square or rectangle around the area to be patched. (3) Cut the damaged fabric area along the lines made in (2), above.  Further, cut the fabric diagonally at each corner to allow a ½-inch foldback in the raw edges.
